stay with us. coming after the break, we want to talk specifically about municipal debt which has been one of the areas that perhaps has been under cover but has seen an impact as the fiscal cliff approaches. congress may be able to avoid the starry cliff. they're set to temporarily extend the u.s. farm bill. the move would keep a long dormant milk subsidy from coming back to life when the current bill expires today. under a new law, the milk could be forced at prices well above what farmers are getting now if that subsidy was pushed aside. let's get a look at what's on the agenda this week in the u.s. there is no data out today and markets will put in a full trading session on wednesday. thursday is the adp employment report and weekly jobless claims. friday brings the december payroll numbers. we also get ism services and factory orders. plenty of data there. it will be quite a busy week. from all of us here at "worldwide exchange," happy early new year. on that note, we want to know if you made

joining us is sue foxley. good to see you. thanks so much for joining us. mark field says -- he's quoted today, he says figures show we've had a 53% decrease in greater london property sales between 2 and 5 million. is it all stamp duty? how much of an impact do you think it's had? >> i think stamp duty was really the nail in the coffin for that part of the market during this period. i mean certainly there is a struggle there in terms of the economy and there is uncertainty in order to make a big investment like that. people are a little bit nervous. i think the caution now is not so much the actual figure, which obviously don't's things particularly just over two million, but it's more the concern that actually we don't know quite what's going to come next. and we really need a stable transparent system that we can trust as how we're going to move in the future. >> the chancellor sticks another percentage on to stamp duty. if he raises it up one million, all going to have a big collective groan. >> i think we all should have a collective groan actually, be
